Why this name?
The name "ChipShank", is a long stupid story...came from my golf forum name...but originated during MN Vikings playoff game back in the 80's. LOL
Do you play live?
Not since '93 or so.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it much easier for reclusive-bedroom-musicians to be heard by world wide audiences.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
It would never happen.....but hell ya, why not?
Band History:
I've played guitar on and off, since about 1984-85 or so. Took a number of years off in the mid-90's and didn't really play at all, until the fall of 02'. Now I'm a full blown guitar-addict once again.
